Fire up those printers

Fire up those printers

Did somebody say "free printables"? If you're currently teaching your kid their ABCs, trust us, those words are going to be magic to your ears.

Educators remind us time and again that parents are their child’s first teacher. While this doesn’t mean you have to devote hours to teaching and coaching your little guy or gal, every bit helps. Giving kids the opportunity to practice recognizing and sounding out letters while coloring them in can make them feel more comfortable as they learn to read in school. Learning letters at home will also help to instill a love of reading in your child, which we bookworms know is a gift they can enjoy for the rest of their life.

And as a bonus, these easy-peasy printables are a great way to keep the kids entertained when you need a few minutes to herself. We’ve put together basic printables for the whole alphabet, plus more detailed A – Z coloring sheets, for an afternoon of learning fun.
